Tim Raines wasn't allowed to play for the Expos until May 2, 1987.
Thanks to an obscure technicality in MLB's labor rules, Tim Raines was banned from baseball for the first month of the 1987 season. He returned with a legendary performance, singlehandedly beating the world champion New York Mets in a nationally televised matchup on NBC's Game of the Week. Fadeaway kicks off Season 2 -- and celebrates Tim Raines's recent Hall of Fame election -- by looking back at the most memorable game of his career. This special Valentine's Day episode also tells the story of a charming romance that was unwittingly sparked by Raines's memorable game.
